Meanwhile, the CPM declared a boycott of her event alleging that their leaders and activists were assaulted under the Bharatiya Janata Party regime since 2018.
“Different programmes were organised including a civic reception on the occasion of visit of President Droupadi Murmu on October 12. CPM state secretary, incumbent legislators and former parliamentarians were invited for the event. We welcome her but decided to boycott the event,” a press communique signed by CPM state secretary Jitendra Chaudhury read.
“There has been no rule of law in the state since the last four-and-a-half years. There are constant attacks on personal freedom and civic rights... We hope that the President will get to witness the real situation in the state and will take initiatives to revive rights of the citizens,” the CPM circular further stated.
